Description
Integrate, configure, and validate avionics systems and networks across aircraft platforms to ensure interoperability, performance, and airworthiness compliance; lead system-level testing, troubleshooting, and documentation from lab to flight in coordination with engineering, suppliers, and maintenance.
- • Set up and operate integration labs and ground support equipment to validate avionics system functions.
- • Test and troubleshoot system interfaces using data bus analyzers, oscilloscopes, and protocol tools.
- • Maintain integration configuration, test procedures, and result records.
- • Coordinate integration activities with systems, software, flight test, suppliers, and maintenance teams.
- • Analyze ground and flight test data to diagnose integration and performance issues.
- • Oversee installation and configuration of avionics LRUs, networks, and wiring to meet integration requirements.
- • Identify and implement system-level fixes, parameter updates, or component swaps to resolve integration anomalies.
- • Integrate and verify interfaces among radios, navigation, sensors, power systems, and flight controls per ICDs.
- • Build or adapt test harnesses, breakout boxes, and interface adapters for integration work.
- • Load and manage avionics software, firmware, and databases under configuration control.
- • Develop and interpret wiring diagrams, network topologies, and ICDs to guide system integration.
- • Set up hardware-in-the-loop benches and simulators to prototype and validate integrations.
- • Use CAD/CAE and modeling tools to design and document avionics integration modifications and support certification.
